Windy's Version 41 is here and brings new features!

Considering how difficuly rain forcasting is for weather models, only HRRR really nails it with constant radar data assimilation every 15 mins, I think you have done an admirable job with the nowcasting. Its a very useful feature. As others have mentioned - a "heavy rain starting near you in X minutes" feature could be cool similar to the 'Rain Parrot' app. Keep pushing Windy team. Your the best out there, love what you do. You make weather look so good

Absolutely LOVE the new Windy Radar updates! This is going to make monitoring windy weather conditions so much fun! The attention to detail and attributes of wind forecasting are highly appreciated and useful.. Thanks guys! .. This update is AWESOME! ☆☆☆☆☆ :-)

Sad to see the update times of ECMWF has been moved to an hour. Example: The 00Z data is now released at 09:25Z compared to 07:50-08:00Z. I hope the release times will be back to 08Z.

@Typhoon2000 We are communicating this with ECMWF and trying to solve this change. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, however, it is a change on their end.

[Typhoon2000]

@Suty Oh I see. Let's hope for the best. Thank you sir for the heads up! More power to Windy! God bless.

@Wheats

Yes, please! Make the "forecast" optional!
Mixing actual data with forecast data is a bad idea in general.
With the current implementation it also seem impossible to know what you are looking at. Sometimes "5 minutes ago" seem to show an actual radar picture, sometimes it is likely a forecast, because the radar picture has not been updated yet. No way to know really, but when precipitation move into areas where there is no radar coverage it can't be an actual radar image.

A clean and easy to use radar view was my primary reason for getting Premium subscription. As the current radar view is now yet a version of the Rain Forecast view, I'm not going to renew my subscription.
Sorry, but this was a really bad design decision :-(

@Suty czy planujecie dodać ostrzeżenie o wyładowaniach w promieniu np 50 20 10 kilometrów?

[Suty]

@przemo1986 What exactly do you mean, please?

[mark.ingalls]

Still waiting for total precipitable water.

[przemo1986]

@Suty chodzi mi o to że duża część aplikacji pogodowych wysyła powiadomienia push kiedy w danym zakresie kilometrów od aktualnej lokalizacji rejestrowane są na przykład wyładowania atmosferyczne lub opady o danym natężeniu. Oczywiście w opcjach można ustawić obszar lub wielkość opadu

[Suty]

@przemo1986 Okay, I understand it now. At this moment there is no plan to offer specifically this feature. There are certain plans to improve our alert system (more option of adjustment) in version 43.

[przemo1986]

@Suty jeszcze jedno pytanie juz pisałem że nie wszystko jest tłumaczone poprawnie i zostają funkcje w aplikacji nadal nie przetłumaczone Z języka angielskiego. Będzie to poprawiane?

[InfoClima 0]

Good morning, can you please give us more information regarding this new clear sky turbulence tab. I would like to know what the acronym EDR means. Thanks in advance !!

[Suty]

@przemo1986 HI, new texts from app are already posted on our Crowdin community project, so hopefully it will be soon.

[Suty]

@InfoClima-0 EDR is a standard aviation turbulence metric. It is an automated, aircraft-independent measure of atmospheric turbulence.

[przemo1986]

@Suty czy jest problem techniczny ? Dużo prostych aplikacji ma funkcję powiadomienia o wyładowaniach w okolicy. Dziwne że taka zaawansowana aplikacja jak Windy nie ma tego.

[Suty]

@przemo1986 We are planning to implement a similar feature in future, but I am not able to tell you when exactly now. I am sorry about it.

[ggoodnow]

@Wheats

Couldn't agree more. Just want to be able to swipe the white line portion without having to deal with the red "future" radar.

Please, Windy, allow us to disable the "future" cast.

[Gabriel Matejak]

@Suty Can you clarify what these values represent? Is it just the same parameter as official ECMWF website shows (https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/medium-cat?base_time=202408191200&flight_level=9144&projection=opencharts_europe&valid_time=202408191500) but multpied by 100?
